Solar now consumes about 10% of annual silver production, and autos could easily reach a number similar to that as the inclusion of more electronic devices in cars (e.g., cameras and other doodads) will require more of that commodity.

This particular conversation has inspired me to dive deeper into the silver supply/demand data, a topic that I haven’t spent a lot of time on in the last couple years. I will be sure to pass along any data that I find especially interesting.

As a side note, it is rather ironic that everything related to “green energy” requires vast amounts of various old school and rare earth metals, but perhaps we need to start thinking about silver as the “green” metal, given its role in solar energy.”

King World News note: The rising demand for physical silver from green energy is very real and will be an important catalyst for the silver market over time as it is now consuming a significant amount of global silver production and that figure continues to rise.
